To celebrate being almost done with school, I read a 300 page book last night. Took me about two hours. It was glorious._________________All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

The whole thing?! You are putting me to shame... Which book was it?_________________

You can really go off some people... _________________I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it (or even read all of it). These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

At least it wasn't Twilight, right? And I have to say, it was not a very good book, much to my relief. _________________All things die, Anakin Skywalker, even stars burn out.

I'm a speed reader. I don't read as much as I used to cause I'm really busy with school, but I used to read about 5-9 books per week._________________Luke and Obi-Wan are in a Chinese restaurant and Luke is having trouble.
Finally Obi-Wan says "Use the forks, Luke".

I haven't read really anything between May last year until last week, where I burned through 2001 and Speaker for the Dead. So normally around 4-5 a year, but my pace has been accelerated dramatically...

I read all three Han Solo trilogy books over about 4 days. I usually don't read books that fast, but I really enjoyed those. Now, I'm averaging about 4 days per book for the X-Wing series. 4-7 days is about normal for me if I enjoy the book I'm reading.
